Yes, I consider Berlin and Dresden still as "East Germany." That is why I said I never visit Northern Germany, which I meant as Bremen, Hannover, Hamburg, Kiel, etc... I have some friends living in Munster and Osnabrück and they want me to visit them. I don't know why but I don't find northern Germany to be interesting... I definitely would want to visit the city of Wuppertal though because of their cool elevated trains around the town.

From my experience in Germany, the best places to visit are:-

1) Catch a cruiser boat to travel down River Rhine, you will see lots of beautiful castles down this famous river.

2) Visit Neuschasten (sp?) Schloss Castle in Lindberg Bayern.

3) Visit Berlin city and Munich's Oktoberfeast.

There are lots of beautiful towns such as Rudeheim, Rothenburg o. Tauder.

I will keep those in mind for my future visitation. It would be interestin' to experience the feelin' of difference when I get there, comparin' to USA that I am soo used to. Example: I will probably feel like livin' in 1800's or somethin' when I am in there, comparin' to USA's very modern of 2007. I love heritages.

My Pastor and his wife toured the camps this summer. He strongly recommends people to see them.

Kuifje75

The husband of my 84 year old cousin who I keep in touch regularly on internet, (such a sweet woman), was one of the members of the Army group who liberated Dachau and guarded the concentration camp. One day, Bill (the husband of my cousin) showed me pictures from the first days he was at Dachau, and it was not pretty at all. It was a very moving experience for me to have him share the story with me. He and my cousin have gone to Germany again several times and told me that Germany has changed so much since WWII.

I have been to the concentration camps Dachau and Sachsenhausen (near Berlin). There are hundreds of these KZ-Lager in Europe, but I hope to go to Poland as well to see Oswiecim camp (known in German as Auschwitz). It will be to compare the difference between a labour camp (i.e. Dachau) and an extermination camp (i.e. Oswiecim).

My cousin gets mad when he hears people saying that the Holocaust never happened. It is very important for people to know it did actually happen, and to not to allow it to happen again.

I think this information, your Pastor and his wife would be interesting...

Yes I agree with your cousin on this because Holocaust denial is not acceptance. This history of Holocaust MUST remain forever what and how the Nazi did to Jews, Germans, Gypis, etc.

Thanks but they are already home. They went to Poland and Germany about a month ago.

Liebling:-)))

I didn't know that your Pastor and wife visited Poland. It's good to know that they also visited Poland, too because there're large camp in Poland than in Germany... Dachau is not far from my hometown.

Yes, they visited our missionaries that we support in Germany and Poland. Our missionaries in Ukraine met them in Poland to visit also.

guten Tag! (did I type that correctly?)

I'm thinking of visiting Germany at the end of 2009... I've always wanted to go there, and I've been more inspired to go there for the past 12 months.

I'm half German - my paternal grandmother's family all came from Germany, making me 3rd generation Australian.

My German ancestors are Karoline Krahling and Jacob Müller - they came to Australia in 1910 with their 9 chilren (Johannes, my great grandfather was one of them).

I'm very proud of my German heritage, especially now that I know who I am!

I plan to check out the Oktoberfest this year in Brisbane. I can't wait for a whole weekend of beer, food and music!! It'll be so exciting!

I'm also planning to visit the Brisbane German Club next weekend - the restaurant there is bloody cheap, and has an awesome menu!

I'm currently learning German, which is fun!

auf Wiedersehen!

We usually go to a German outdoor festival (Oktoberfest) in the fall. It was fun to watch some kids and adults dancing. I don't know what the game called - a person has to follow his dance exactly. I enjoyed it. They drink a very large beer. I don't drink. Many people at the festival spoke in German which surprised me.

shezzbeav

I've always wanted to check out Oktoberfest. Am doing that this year, and get really drunk German way!!

chingxho

I am missing Germany soooo much, whenever I hear about it I get homesick badly. The second I finish high school I am moving back.

I would love to be able tospend time in Germany because my grandparents on my father's side were immigrants from Germany to America. I learned much of the German language growing up because my grandparents lived with us when I was small, and they spoke more German than American. Unfortunately, I have forgotten so much of it since my grandparents died, but if I see it written, I can still translate pretty well. I was trying not long ago to remember a poem my grandmother used to recite about counting and a cat. Do you by any chance know the one I am talking about, liebling?

And my fav dinner of all times is sauerbraten!

I love Germany, I lived there for almost three years until 1991. I was stationed in Hanau and was fortunate enough to visit alot of places-Frankfurt, Garmiche, Berchesgarden, Bavaria, Munich, East and West Berlin (when the wall was up). My most memorable moments were visiting alot of little communities by bicycle and talking/drinking with the native Germans. Never had a bad experience and had I not had family back in the states would have moved there.
I remember an area of 8 or 9 city blocks in Frankfurt that had nothing but clubs, Discos, Pubs and resturants-even Wendys/McDonalds in Germany had beer on the menu.
There are trains that take you just about anywhere, the cities are clean and even the forest around the towns were clean. The autobahn was fun, bought a used mercedez sedan and cruised the autobahn at 180 kmph and people passed me like I was sitting still.
Castles were everywhere, I saw Castle Neuschwanstein and Castle Schloss, also got to see the wonderous wide open salt mines in Garmish, and the Eagles nest. I even had an Osterich egg for breakfast. My favourite beer was weisenbier and my favourite dish was jagerschnitzle. My favourit festival was Octoberfest. I even learned and remember some German from dating a German girl for a couple of years.
I will return soon but I wonder if I will recognize Germany, has it changed much since the wall came down? I still have German DMs...
